Letters Patent No. 109,041, dated November -8, 1870.

lMPROVEMENT lhl COMBINEDA BARROWS AND TURNlP-DRILLS.

The Schedule referred to in these Letters Patent and making part of the same.

To whom it may concern Be it known that I, ALBERT M. Nnwnaxn, of Olivet, iu the county of Eaton and State of Michigan, have invented a new and useful Improvement in the Colnhined Cart, Vheelbarrow, and Turnip-Drill, patented by me July 5, 1870; and I do declare that the following is a true and accurate description th'ereof, reference being had to the accompanying drawing and to the letters of reference marked thereon and being a part of this specification, iu whichliigure lis a perspective view of one of the side frames of the implement, showing my device attached to the inner side thereof.

Figure 2 is a sectional plan of the same.

Like letters indicate like parts in each figure.

The nature of this invention relates to an improvement in the construction ofthe combined cart, wheelbarrow, and tnrnip-drill for which Letters Patent were issued t0 me bearing date July 5, 1870, and numbered 104,983; and

It consistsin the addition thereto ot' a pair of handlevers, so arranged that, when desired, the bars carrying the shoes may be elevated from the ground and the seed-dropping devices caused to cease their operation, as more fully hereinafter set forth.

In the drawing- A represents one ofthe side hars.

D, its curved brace.

E, the wheel rotating upon its axle F, secured to the curved brace, as described incsaid Letters Patent.

I is one of the bars, pivot-ed at its rear end to the leg or standard G, and carrying at its front end the hopper L aud'spout or shoe J, from and through which the seed is delivered by the action of the spring-lever M, as 'described in said Letters Patent, by the spokes of the wheel striking the inward-projecting curve m in said lever.

In that device no provision was made to stop the crank N extending at its lower end alonff the inner face of the bar I, just behind the curve or cam m in the spring-lever M, and moves in a keeper or slotted guide, n., so that, by depressing the handles of the lever N, its hell-crank will he thrown forward, and press the curve m in the spring-lever awayfrom the spokes of the wheel, when it will cease to operate the former. 1

The har I is suspended from the forward extremity of'the lever N by a link or chain, O, so that, when the seed-dropping mechanism is thrown .out of gear and ceases to operate, the shoe J will be. lifted clear ofthe ground, and the implement moved about withou; operating the seed-dropping mechanism or furrowing the ground.

Having thus described my improvement,

What I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Iat'ent, is-

The construction and arrangement of the hand-levers N, bell-cranks N', and links O, with relation to the side bars A and shoe-bars I, as and for the purpose herein shown and sct forth.

ALBERT M. NEWLAND.
